How to get the Crown on the third level Part 1

1. Once you make it over the opening and closing pit traps, (easy to do, just make sure you're always stepping in the way of the frost bolts to prevent them from opening the trapdoors) , you will notice an Iron Door at the end of that area, and a Button on the wall to the left of the receptacle where the frost bolts go.
If you turn around, you'll notice one trapdoor that always stays closed.

2. Turn back around and Press the button on the wall and step in the way of the bolts so that the trapdoors stay closed (If they're open try again). Walk to the trapdoor that always stays closed and you'll notice the wall opening on your left. Now what you need to do is turn to face where the frost bolts are coming from, and make a step to your right to let the frost bolt go by and step back to the "Always closed trapdoor BEFORE the frost bolt opens all the trap doors again.

How to get the Crown on the third level. Part 2

3. Now if you turn to your left, you'll notice the wall open again, but NOW there's a second wall opened behind it. You need to throw something like a torch, and it should land on a pressure plate that you can't see. If you did it properly, the trapdoors in front of the secret door and to the left should close, so that you can see that the Iron Door is now open.

4. Walk into the room behind the iron door and pick up the FIRE BLADE. and equip it.
Go back to the room with the Crown. Shoot the blade at the Fire Receptacle and a fireball will come out of it, and open the grate to the Crown Room, where you can now grab the Crown.

I want to thank Conchron for his walk-through, because even though it doesn't go into exact step by step detail, it tells me enough and gives me enough of a push to figure out the puzzles

well made, but got stuck part way through level one and can't work out how to progress from there. may retry later.

I think this mod is bugged, even when you block the light bolt on Level1, the trap doors still open.

On level 6/7 and got tired of going back and forth will no clues on what to do. Don't see any help on this form to get thru it and the walkthru someone made is of no help. Nice mod thou but a little easy monsterwise for my party. I see no one has been on this board in 4 yrs so I guess I'm just talking to myself with no help in site. I will move on to another mod .....

@pestmastah

the button behind the teleporter is a false wall

I'm still on lv.3 only, but this mod is really really good. A must try!

Stuck now on Level 10 Haunted Caves near the end... two buttons... in a room with two dragon statues and a teleporter that is in the space with the 2nd button.
Press the first one to turn teleporter off.. then run up to press 2nd button.
Nothing happens?
Can't get out of here

Very playable! I too am working on the crown and have gotten a door to open in the trapdoor room but haven't yet figured out how to get to it. The speed puzzles are very Grim-Rockin'
Cheers / Robert

@ValkyrieDrake, the fire and light puzzle works just fine. When you first enter proceed down the fire hallway, you'll have to get hit by a single fireball. Look for a switch on the wall past the plate, then enter the hallway that opens up after pushing the switch. In the new hallway you will find another switch which controls a gate that interrupts the lightballs. Time pushing the switch for the gate so that the pit trapdoors are closed when the gate blocks the next lightball. Then exit the hallway and make sure you block the fireball with your party as you step on the fireball plate. Now you can continue down the next hallway with all the pit traps closed.

Thanks Hatlan! I enjoyed your amazing mod more than the original Grimrock! Solved 20/20 secrets and 7/7 treasures, but was still missing a skull (from level 2 I think).

Pit trap with the fire bolt opening the way for the light bolt is impossible. I am standing on the first trap while it is still graphically open and I make it to the last pit and it opens. One more second and it would still be tricky but at least it would be possible. Please fix this.

Great mod so far, how do i get the crown on lvl 3?

So im stuck on the first trap...which is lame...i got the fireball to hit the ring and caused the latches to open and close as the (ice ball?) moves across it. I have started a split second before they close, and im fairly sure ive been ontop of the first one while its "still opeN" graphicaly but not mechanically...anyways...i can't get past it and no matter how quick i am i still fall to that secondary room.

can't figure out l6/l7. got all the way to the snails in the room and now im stuck. Can't find the blades or open the one steel door. Any help?

the opening and closing trapdoors are hard and raging and the place of the skull is vicious but thats very funny

@kysumu - I'll try that and let you know how it works out. Thanks.

Hello all !
This is a great mod, a true adventure, not too difficult, not too easy. Well done and thanks for the hard work.
Just a question : what is this stuff about a secret path that indicate how many secrets are discovered ? I ran from lvl 1 to lvl 9 (current) and I didn't saw any secret path or anything like this.
Thanks a lot !

@Hououin - you have to start moving a split second before the first trap door starts to close then you can make it across, don't hesitate, just run.

Good luck !

I'm stuck on level 2 after the part with the snail, I've tried looking for a way to stop the trapdoors. There's no way for me to make it across them. (opening/closing sequence wont allow for it) Is the level bugged? I've heard others having this same problem. I checked for a walkthrough of this particular spot, but nobody has done it or didn't explain it. (ex; walk across the moving platforms) Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm changing this enigma for a simpler one so there wont be any problem anymore =)
You need this and the "die" enigma to open the secret wall at the end of the corridor.

And for Mr Disaster, thanks but the 9th skull isn't a myth, I double checked =D There is a skull In every 9 levels ( I consider the temple and the haunted caves a single level ).

Stuck on lvl1 in the short corridor that has the fireball thrower. This is not the one off the starting room that solves the trapdoors, it's the other one up at the north end. I saw some posts here saying some people can't dodge it, well neither can I. Tried it loads of times and no way can I step on the pressure plate and dodge into the side corridor before getting hit by it.

Second problem, I do the lightening bolt thrower next to the "Die" wall text but the secret wall at the end of the corridor doesn't open. Seems like most people are getting through lvl1 OK so I'm kinda stumped here. Been playing Grimrock a whild, done the game, done a few mods, so not a noob but I guess I'll have to abandon this one unless anyone has any hints what's going wrong.

i saw you a few times

dr disaster!

Finished ! nice mod, really great !! Do you have more of these ? :)

Just finished it.Best mod for LOG 'til now.Cheers!

Could somebody help me with L6 / L7? Running around chasing my own tail, opened everything that I could open, have light key nowhere to use it, no sight of any blades, can see the dark priest but cannot open the gate etc etc

finally solved the number 7 is sacred puzzle. infreakin'genius. final battle was fun, too. one of the best mods here!!! thanks.

Very nice mod, completed it with all secret, all treasures and 8 skulls (i'm pretty sure the 9th skull is a myth). Entered the Secret Path with level 10 characters, reached the final boss fight at level 12 and got 42(!) after it.

Combat is advanced, sometimes a bit hard, so a new party might bite it here and there. Some of the puzzles are quite tricky, i.e. the "no lights" iron door. Also a few of the secrets are well hidden and/or opened by far away buttons, so if a button/switch/lever/torch seems to do nothing it's a good idea to re-check the level for freshly opened walls.

Right now there are enough clues within the comments posted here to complete all puzzles and find all secrets and treasures. Reading thru them was all i did to find everything i could not figure or discover by myself.

cat't figure the number 7 is sacred puzzle even with the covered hint below; thought i found them all but nothing happens. i have one ornate key, need one more plus the treasure. can go no further, like i'm dying in The Dark Temple.

I don't get how to open the iron door in the prison. I've completed the level otherwise and have hit all of the switched and plates I can find.

Thanks for this mob. Stuck on level 2, not able to run across the opening and closing trapdoors on the left of the "remember my words and come back" door.. Is there any thing special to do for this path ?

Thanks! I'll give it a try today

Done ! Have fun =)

Nexus nags you with a "Interested in a premium membership?" page when you register on it, but if you want, you can not check any of the boxes and head straight to the next page. I know, I thought I'd have to pay to download the mods when I registered some days ago.

I gave a quick glance at the advantages of premium membership and it doesn't look like you will have restrictions on your mod uploading. The advantages seems to be aimed for the downloaders rather than the uploaders: Faster download, no ads, etc.

Hi, maybe I'm doing it wrong but it seems that I have to pay if I want to upload the mod on nexus.

Hatlan33, can you upload your dungeon on Nexus or any upload site? I'd love to play your dungeon but I can't because I don't own the Steam version of Legend Of Grimrock and I can't find your dungeon anywhere else than the Workshop.

Sorted.

Stuck on the Haunted Caves. Got all the way to the "No Escape" room with the two statues, pressed both switches but no idea what to to do next?

Great mod !

Thanks a lot!, finished the golden path. It was fun, but I think that there too many XP gain with the final boss... My team now is too heavy to be imported to another custom dungeon.

Just finished the golden path, was fun and i will use this mighty weapon for justice ! :p
Very good custom map, one of my favourite, balanced between fight and puzzle, I really loved the labyrinth between floor 6 and 7.
I hav'nt understand the use of the lever near the rocks in the golden path, i have maybe missed something.

Thank you Hatlan ! :)

there is another one south of iron door, you have to put an item on an alcove and activate a button in the room with the 2 skeletons, north of iron door. This secret is pretty hard to find I guess, maybe I'll change it later !

Reached the no-returing point with 7 treasures and 19/20 secrets discovered... The only secret i've not found it's in the prison level... please help!

Mod finished, i'm replaying to find the 20 secret areas, but now i'm stuck at level 5, for the info here I must find 2 secrets, but I only found 1, the iron door, so now i have 11/20 secrets found and must have 12/20. Any idea where's the second secret of the Prison?

Ouch! it was simple!, Thanks!

@phobia

When you are in the light altar room, go west near the teleporter there is an hidden switch on the south side on the central pillar. A wall will open near you in the light side AND the dark side.

@Vexis

when you are in front of the locked door, jump into the first pit behind you

I can't find the second secret on ancient prison level, I opened the iron door but I have really no idea of where is the other one :/

I have no idea how to continue in level 8 "Hearth of Darkness". I have the blue gem, 2 gold keys but no locks to put this keys. I found 3 doors closed, near one of these I can read "You can't open this door" I see a lever before that door but obviously i cannot activate it.

Please help me!

I played tgis excellent mod to the end without all secrets and now I am playing it again, trying to get all secrets for the special ending (do I need all treasures too?). But if I read correctly, there's two secrets on the evil side of the (floor 7) but I have the hardest time finding the second. I got the key in the niche that opens from the button close to the stairs, but I can't find any other. Any help?

its cool i must have been tired as i tried it again and completed it :D

Thanks Hatlan. I had no trouble with the first fireball and figuring out the lightning bolt was easy. My proc must just be too slow to get out of the way of the second fireball and after many many tries, I just gave up. Even Toorum's speed was insufficient but I didn't try as much with him. There are enough mods out there that skipping a popular one is sad but... oh well. I have been persistent on other mods and am willing to keep trying until I get it but your fireball avoidance trick is beyond my dex or my puter or both.
